Rabbi David Stav, Founder and President of the Tzohar Rabbinical Organization, worries that the Rabbinate decision to nullify all of Rabbi Haskel Lookstein's conversions "leads to a situation where assimilation, both here in Israel and in the Diaspora, is allowed to go unchecked.
"Because when we have a situation where well-intentioned converts are being disregarded simply because their conversion was officiated by a nationalist and modern Orthodox rabbi, what message does this send to those interested in converting according to halacha?”
